i have applied to Mount. Sinai since i first received my NY license back in 10. I just kept applying online 3 positions at time. like every 2months. i had gone to career fairs. the recruiter had said that she thought she saw my resume at some point from one of the fairs. but at that time i was fresh out of school looking for jobs everywhere i can think of. i am one year 2 months into med-surg/tele i had applied recently it wasnt for the position i wanted but... they called me one day for interview. i went.. interviewed and was hired same day!!! from what i can see.. i am going to love Mount sinai and cant wait to start!! i didnt not have the feeling i had when i started my first job.. i was desperate and needed to get my foot in door, even if it wasn't my dream job. Mount Sinai, NYC my dream job and dream city!! i cant wait to start.

all i have to say.. is 1. Don't give up. if you get a job, but not where u want, go for it, get the experience

2. Go to career fairs that will have the hospital you want to work at

3. show that you are willing to go great lenghts that you want that job! i live in south jersey, originally from noth jersey. i went all the way to NYC to interview, that shows alot.

4. stop by recruitment office and personally hand them your resume so they can see you, put a face to your online resume.

are you new RN?

Not even :) I am starting my accelerated BSN this coming fall, but am already freaking out about getting a job, since I need a year's worth of experience before entering for my MSN program! I know that getting a job at a eminent hospital is basically impossible without having any experience...so I was just wondering what I could do to increase my chances to the max!

That's amazing you got your dream job!! I admire your tenacity! What was your first job fresh out of nursing school?

Specializes in Med/Surg Urology.

Yeah-

I'd like to hear the answers to this as well. I've seen a ton of per deim jobs posting and was wondering what it was like there.

It took me a year and few months to get an actual nursing job. My first job was per diem with an agency at an adult daycare facility. Then came flu shots with mollen. Then finally i got an med-surg/tele job at an hospital in philly. It was a sad an depressive time. But i eventually got one. Get a job where u can..even if its not where u want

Where you from in south jersey? I'm from jersey and would love to work in NYC. I'm waiting for my NY license. I'm working here in jersey at a med/surg floor. I visited a friend who works in Mt Sinai and I loved it! first hospital i've seen with a starbucks inside hahaha unfortunately i know my chances are slim getting a job there since i only have an associates degree (but currently enrolled in an online BSN program) and have less than a year experience. I would like to keep my full time job here in jersey and just work per diem in NYC, either a hospital (like mt. sinai) or even at a nursing home where i know i have better chance landing a job with an associates.

Is it much easier to get a RN job, if your clinical from nursing school was at the NYC hospitals? Thanks!

I don't think it matters. However, I think the hospitals in NYC require that you have a BSN and an internship experience. The more experience you have outside of school the better. :)
